But then, if it's going to be anyone it'll Kircheis :) Don’t spoil it for me, but these deaths had better not involve Yang Wen-li, Reinhard or Kircheis.

Although there is a character death just beyond where you've reached that is very important too. So don't have too many episodes to get through before some signficant event occurs. I think LotGH is a great series so I'd say get back to it when you can. Heh, well, the incident I’m referring to doesn’t happen until around episode 80, so you’d have a long way to go.

Now you're hinting at some kind of daring drama, I'm extremely tempted to fly back into it all.

Without doing too much to spoil certain series... I probably would have included a certain character's death from Trigun in the list; although I understand why you might have left that one out if you wanted to avoid obvious choices. Other ones I might personally have gone for include the likes of Kenshin, over the course of the Seisouhen OAV, though that might be just because I'm a Ruroken fanboy. Legend of the Galactic Heroes gets major props for probably the gutsiest character death I've ever seen in an anime, and one that's incredibly touching. Not sure it's on the same "manly" level as your picks though ^^ Another certain death, this time from Nadia, is both manly and awesome. I've forgotten if Coach's death in Gunbuster is manly or not (it has been too many years now, and I think it was more of a quiet passing) but that could also feature. Oh, and no anime death list, I feel, is complete without the mentioning of Saikano episode 9. One final death I have to mention is a particular one from Key: The Metal Idol, if only because it was the demise of one of my favourite anime characters. Hmm, good choices.

That's no slight on the power of Spike's end, it's just that I suppose everyone would expect Spike to be on here!

His death is as manly and as powerful as they come. All he says is "bang" and dies with a smile on his face. Damn i love Cowboy Bebop How is Spike Spiegel’s Death not on here??

I've never actually seen the original TV series and been scared away by people saying how the animation is terrible. Do You Remember Love? was pretty damn awesome though.

SPOILERS The heroic death of Guld Bowman. A dramatic reconciliation with a lifelong friend, before sacrificing himself so the said friend can rescue the girl and save the day. Hats off to the man..and his awesome piloting skills. It's been a long day so that's the only instance of Manly Tears I can recall off the top of my head...
